It's All A Blur
Andrew Sullivan writes that McCain and Obama's foreign policy prescriptions are starting to converge. Maybe, but it strikes me that this is because Obama is moving toward McCain. (Ever since he got the nominations, Obama's been moving to the right on foreign policy. Whatever movement McCain is making, it's more on domestic policy.)
Sullivan ends saying no victory is possible in Iraq "which at this point is a meaningless concept in a war whose justification was undermined within weeks of its start."
So not only is he trying to define away any possible victory, but he still seems to be making the claim that the war was all about WMDs, and that dealing with an enemy who could make them quickly, and intended to if he got the chance, doesn't count.

In response to your first sentence, please see the fifth paragraph of Frank Rich's latest.
The situation in Afghanistan, good or bad, is a useful football that politicans kick around usually as a distraction from what needs to be done in Iraq. Rich and others try to make all sorts of important claims about it, and how we're taking our eyes off the ball, but it never flies.
